Let's choose the scientific number \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) and subtract \( 1,845.19 \) from it.
Step 1: Convert the scientific number to standard notation
First, we convert \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) to standard notation:
\[ 1.95 \times 10^6 = 1,950,000 \]
Step 2: Subtract the two numbers
Now we will subtract \( 1,845.19 \) from \( 1,950,000 \):
\[ 1,950,000 - 1,845.19 \]
Step 3: Perform the subtraction
To perform the subtraction, we align the numbers with the decimal points:
1,950,000.00
- 1,845.19
----------------
Now we subtract from right to left:
-
From rightmost column: \( 0 - 9 \) (cannot subtract, so we borrow)
- Borrow 1 from the next non-zero column; the 0 becomes 10, and we borrow 1 for the next column which was 0.
- \( 10 - 9 = 1 \)
-
Next column: \( 0 - 1 \) (again, we need to borrow because we have 0)
- The second 0 becomes 10 after borrowing, \( 10 - 1 = 9 \)
-
Next column after borrowing: \( 0 - 4 \) (again, we need to borrow)
- The next 0 becomes 10 after borrowing \( 10 - 4 = 6 \)
-
Moving to the next column: \( 9 - 1 = 8 \) (after borrowing, it’s now 8).
-
Next, \( 4 - 0 = 4 \)
-
Finally \( 1 - 0 = 1 \)
Putting this all together, we get:
1,950,000.00
- 1,845.19
----------------
1,948,154.81
Final Result:
\[ 1,950,000 - 1,845.19 = 1,948,154.81 \]
Thus, the result of subtracting \( 1,845.19 \) from \( 1.95 \times 10^6 \) is \( 1,948,154.81 \).
